I don't think I swear ever. But I have, admittedly, screamed in frustration when my girls won't stop crying and whining at each other, "For the love of God, please just SHUT UP!!!!" Yeah, you can email me that parenting award any day now. Sigh. Anyway, I am trying to be better.JD Bailey @ Honest Momhttp://honestmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060436128493311648.post-15049435101181214032013-01-01T14:28:11.186-05:002013-01-01T14:28:11.186-05:00I love love this post.

I prefer that my children hear this "colorful" language at home, know what it is and how it is not appropriate, and what is nice and not nice to say. Especially with all the bullying going on. Kids need to learn to let some stuff get stuffed...

We can certainly censor what comes out of our mouths, or should anyway, but there really isn't any way I can control what someone else says. I can ask them not to use that kind of language around my child, but that's Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060436128493311648.post-55883253693167007022012-12-27T10:20:14.011-05:002012-12-27T10:20:14.011-05:00As a teacher, it cracks me up that with all the sw...As a teacher, it cracks me up that with all the swear words my 4th graders know (and use) "shut up" is the one that gets gasps when someone dares to say it. It's a bit over the top. I think saying "shut up" is not a big deal. The lying to the teacher is a bigger deal. I GREATLY appreciate you working through the "the other kid deserved it" Papa Bear reaction.

I wish they had only been saying "Shut Up" to be honest. <br /><br />Thankfully, most days they are down to the occasional "damn". At almost 11 and 12 that's not so bad since I'm shoveling against the tide here.<br /><br />The odd thing is, Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.com
